Grammy nominated vocalist and writer Syleena Johnson is one of the greatest singers and performers of her generation.

Having fought the major label system to allow her true identity to shine forth, Syleena now steps forward with her most anticipated album to date Chapter 6: Couples Therapy, which was released on the Blackbyrd label. With production from Ric Atari, Kajun and Pierre #TheMaven Medor, Couples Therapy is the sixth chapter in her collection of blues and soul-inspired concept albums. (The album hit #15 on the Billboard R&B Chart.) This powerful new recording takes us back to the Chicago natives roots and caters to a more traditional R&B style.

Couples Therapy deals with love and relationships. As with all of her projects Syleena gives us a heartfelt glimpse into where she is within her own journey and her private life. This project embodies Syleena’s relentless passion for songwriting. Johnson, wrote / co-wrote all of the tracks. The album opens with the upbeat and lyrically honest song “All This Way For Love.” Leela James accompanies Syleena on the soulful 60’s throwback “Fool’s Gold”; and the incomparable Dave Hollister joins her on the moving and triumphant “Harmony.” The albums production remains diverse and yet doesn’t venture too far off track. Vocally critics agree that this is one of Syleena’s strongest overall projects in years. It has been dubbed, “The best R&B album of her career.”

The first single and video is for the song “Perfectly Worthless” a masterpiece about the anguish that one endures at the end of a tumultuous affair. Syleena croons, “Since you said we’re through. I’ll play the fool. Broke all the rules while loving you.” a sentiment that all of us can relate to at one point or another in our love lives. Chapter 6: Couples Therapy is unique in that it is an extremely personal piece but it somehow feels as if Syleena read a page from our own private journal and wrote these songs for all of us. Chapter 6: Couples Therapy is a beautiful and poignant work of art takes you through the ups and downs experienced during all of our relationships.
